“The opioid crisis is a national crisis. It is devastating families and communities in Western Pennsylvania and all over our country. I have witnessed its awful impact up close and personally. In an era of intense political polarization, I am so grateful that we were able to come together as a unified Congress to deliver such a powerful blow against this deadly epidemic on so many fronts. The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act is the most far-reaching congressional action against a single drug crisis in American history. I’m proud to have contributed specific measures that will protect vulnerable seniors from dangerous addiction and stop synthetic drugs from being trafficked into our communities from overseas. This is about nothing less than saving lives. It was a true honor to be at the White House with President Trump as he enacted this historic law and made every American family safer.”
